I'd smoked for about 20 years and last April I decided to stop.
Over about 3 weeks I cut down the amount I was smoking and would occasionally have some gum at night when the cravings got their worst or when I was having a drink.I'd only tried a few times previously to stop but was never successful as never really had my heart in it.
I guess you've just got to decide for yourself and make sure it's a definite thing that you want to and are going to stop.
Personally I wouldn't faff about with e-cigarettes as it's not really getting you out of any habits.
It's not the nicotine that's the addiction really - it's easy to overcome. The thing that's hardest to overcome is your ritual cigarette times and to breakout of this routine and do something else instead.
Nowadays when I walk past someone smoking 50% of the time i think "yuck" and 50% of the time if it's a nice smelling brand i'll crave it.
I'd never be a preacher against smoking, each to their own its a personal choice but I will say that it's easier than you think to stop - it's all about breaking rituals not beating an addiction.
Definitely DON'T bother with those e-cigs though.
